some Suggestive FiGures.

Here are the figures for the past week
They are taken from our cash-books anC
subject to the yerificaton of any one who
will come and see:
On Monday, .'..''.''..''' Esa
On Tuesday, Goth 60e
On Wednesday, 2ist.............. ..,,.......~ S14
On Thursday, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1,Gla
On Friday, Esd ............... ...o......". 1908
On Saturday, 1,145
Total for the week 80 o66
These are yearly subscribers, cash in adj
vance. The price of THE WEEKLY Cox
sTIrUTIoN is $1.25. In clubs of 100 and in
larger clubs, 90 cents. We have no three
months subscribers are for one year.
We have found that the subscribers average
one dollar each. SO that the 1906 received
by mail this week means that 1896 persons
have subscribed for one year TO TIE WEEK
LY CONSTITUTION. That is more yearly
subscribers, in our opinion, than were re
oeived by any newspaper during the week,
north or south.
This week Is not the largest week of the
year. Next week will beat it. January
February, March and April arc our big sub,
scrption months We shall show the public
some enterprising figures before three
months come and 60. The basis of our
comparison is to compare this week with
the same week OF last year. That week
shows 3, 1924 subscribers. This week 1906,
q gain FOR the week Of 2,142 subscribers
Last December gave us 1887 weekly sub
scribers. This December will go over
10000.
This immense circulation has been gained
In competition with the best American
newspapers. The New York World, the
New York Sun, the Cincinnati Enquirer
Che Philadelphia Times, the Detroit Free
Press, and the Courier-Journal print .,reat
weeklies, and each is fighting for the ield
The Galveston News, the Times Democrat
and Pcayune of New Orleans, the Nashville
American, and the Charleston News and
Courier are of lato paying close attention to
their weekly editions and pushing them
vigorously. In the face of this competition
THE CONSTITUTION printed this week
1861 900 copies, against 5000 copies for the
same week three years ago. If our com
pettors have made similar progress, truly
f'the schoolmaster has been abroad in the
land"
Here is point. One year ago we sent
$500 WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONS into north
ern states. We now send over 10, 900. BY
The time the presidential campaign is fairly
under way We hope to be sending $4,000
CONSTITUTIONS into the north every week.
We take from the current issue of the
weekly, some opinions which will show the
estimation in which the paper is held, and
give some idea of the extent of its circula
ton This poge might be filed with similar
letters from every weeks mail:
